Business Data Flows

---

Each standard integration or custom integration is based on business data flows. As shown in Figure 2, a business data flow controls the transformation of an VCML-based data object to a Siebel data object and a Siebel data object to an VCML-based data object.

The components shown in Figure 2 provide the functions required for XML processing such as:

Handling the XML message header
Handling heterogeneous commands in the body section of an XML message
Formatting and converting data type
Mapping data model through the various connector modules

There are two types of business data flows:

Outbound to an external VCML-based application (Send). For details, see Outbound Data Flow.
Inbound from an external VCML-based application (Receive). For details, see Inbound Data Flow.
